"snap pick to" function

masamasa

hello

whenever i try to select objcts, i need to choose either a via or a pin.

so i always use "snap pick to" on the right click menu.

i created a shortcut command using "funkey" on the env file.

i assigned "1" for snap pick to a via and "2" for snap pick to a pin. 

funckey 1 "prepopup;pop dyn_option_select 'Snap pick to@:@Persistent snap@:@Via'"

funckey 2 "prepopup;pop dyn_option_select 'Snap pick to@:@Persistent snap@:@Pin'"

when i press key "1", i can snap pick to a via, but after pressing key "1", i can not snap pick to a pin by pressing key "2" even after i finish the command.

did i do something wrong?

    Try a non-persistent syntax and see if that works correctly:

    funckey 1 "prepopup;pop dyn_option_select 'Snap pick to@:@Via"

    funckey 2 "prepopup;pop dyn_option_select 'Snap pick to@:@Pin'"

    thank you, redwire.

    it works now

    the ones you suggested work under persistent snap as well.

    thank you
